Public bug reported: Please backport screen 4.2.1-2 (main) from utopic to trusty.
Reason for the backport: ======================== GNU Screen 4.2.1 is a newer upstream release, whereas the version of screen in Trusty is from three years ago (aside from distribution-specific patches). Testing: ======== Mark off items in the checklist [X] as you test them, but please leave the checklist so that backporters can quickly evaluate the state of testing. You can test-build the backport in your PPA with backportpackage: $ backportpackage -u ppa:<lp username>/<ppa name> -s utopic -d trusty screen * trusty: [X] Package builds without modification [X] screen-dbg installs cleanly and runs [X] screen installs cleanly and runs Reverse dependencies: ===================== The following reverse-dependencies need to be tested against the new version of screen. For reverse-build-dependencies (-Indep), please test that the package still builds against the new screen. For reverse-dependencies, please test that the version of the package currently in the release still works with the new screen installed. Reverse- Recommends, Suggests, and Enhances don't need to be tested, and are listed for completeness-sake. screen-dbg ---------- screen ------ * rtorrent [ ] trusty (Reverse-Suggests) * surfraw [ ] trusty (Reverse-Suggests) * epoptes-client [ ] trusty (Reverse-Depends) * cereal [ ] trusty (Reverse-Depends) * mdm [ ] trusty (Reverse-Depends) * piuparts-slave [ ] trusty (Reverse-Depends) * screenie [ ] trusty (Reverse-Depends) * byobu [ ] trusty (Reverse-Recommends) [ ] trusty (Reverse-Depends) [ ] trusty (Reverse-Enhances) * iselect [ ] trusty (Reverse-Suggests) [ ] trusty (Reverse-Enhances) * podracer [ ] trusty (Reverse-Depends) * ubuntu-remote-debug-host-tools [ ] trusty (Reverse-Depends) * apt-dater [ ] trusty (Reverse-Depends) * winpdb [ ] trusty (Reverse-Recommends) * surfraw-extra [ ] trusty (Reverse-Suggests) ** Affects: trusty-backports Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Backporters, which is subscribed to trusty-backports.
